which they might assist. For such projects, the County provides labor and equipment and
the City provides or pays for the materials, such as hot mix, cement, storm sewer pipe,
concrete, etc. Staff reviewed with the County three possible projects: 1.) Union Church
Road /South Pearson Avenue (approximately 7,800 feet); 2.) Randol Mill Avenue
(approximately 5,830 feet) from the 90 degree turn to Dove Road; and 3.) Lonesome Dove
Avenue (approximately 670 feet) from Dove Road to Emerald Circle. A total of 14,300 feet
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, MARCH 4, 2003, PAGE 2 OF 14
of pavement will be rehabilitated under this agreement. The Union Church Road/South
Pearson Avenue project will include installing pipe culverts under Union Church Road to
eliminate the low -water crossings. Tarrant County has estimated the cost of the materials as
follows: Union Church/S. Pearson - $315,000; Randol Mill Avenue - $91,000; Lonesome
Dove Avenue - $19,000. Funds for the materials for county projects were included in
FY2002 -03 CIP. The City has an interlocal agreement with the City of Keller to pay half
the cost of the hot mix and cement for the Union Church project. Tarrant County
Commissioners approved this interlocal agreement on February 18, 2003.
5C. Appointment of Malcolm Jackson as Director of Community Services. Malcolm Jackson
has been Interim Director of Community Services for the past four months and has done an
excellent job. He has carried out the day -to -day business of the department with the utmost
professionalism and attention to detail with very little guidance. As a 14 -year Southlake
veteran, Malcolm easily marshals the resources needed to get things done, understands city
procedures, and has a strong familiarity with the community. His appointment to this
position will allow us to move forward with park projects and programs with few, if any,
transitional challenges.

10A. Approval of SPDC Matching Funds Request from the Liberty Garden Committee in the
amount of $50,000 and Park Dedication Funds not to exceed $40,000 for the development
of a Liberty Garden in Bicentennial Park. Acting Director of Community Services Malcolm
Jackson made a presentation to Council during the work session. This request is for
Council approval of SPDC matching funds in the amount of $50,000 and park dedication
funds not to exceed $40,000 for construction of a Liberty Garden in Bicentennial Park.
Since Park Board approval of matching funds of $50,000 in October 2002, the committee
and staff has reevaluated the original proposal at SPDC's request and refined the cost
analysis with assistance from the consulting firm of Dunkin, Sims, Stoffels, Inc. The
latest costs reflect some items for which quantities or unit prices were adjusted, a
reduction in contingency costs for fixture items, and allowances for ADA accessibility.
The result provides the most current representation of "actual costs" for the project, and,
therefore, the most accurate assessment of the varying funding source obligations.
Because the project was recommended by Park Board to be segregated into two phases,
with the pavilion as the second phase, and because the amount of the Committee's match
is dynamic and may exceed $50,000, staff recommends that any funds or donations
received in excess of the requirement for Phase I be allocated to Phase II. Thus far, the
Liberty Garden Committee has secured $32,900 ($22,900 in Phase I) through donations,
contributions, and other cost reductions. The matching funds portion of this request was
approved by SPDC subject to a dollar- for - dollar cash match at their March 4, 2003,
meeting.
10B. Approval of a variance to Sign Ordinance No. 704 -A for Southlake Town Square located at
301 North Carroll Avenue. Plans Examiner Skip Vandergrift made a presentation to
Council during the work session. Southlake Town Square is requesting a variance for
approval of three existing painted directional signs. The signs are non - business specific and
are designed to guide traffic to the West Side District of Town Square. Each sign is
composed of a Town Square logo above three lines of lettering (West Side District...Great
Food...More Shopping) and a drawing of a hand pointing to the West Side District.
Location and size of the signs are: (A) the east wall of the building at 301 North Carroll
Avenue - 98 sq. ft.; (B) the south wall of the building at 331 North Carroll Avenue - 62.5
sq. ft.; and (C) the west wall of the building at 1220 Prospect Avenue - 50 sq. ft.
10C. Award bid to Brett Construction Company of Hico, Texas, for Construction of sanitary
sewer improvements in Garden Addition and the associated main to N -1 interceptor, Cedar
Oaks Estates, Hillside Estate, Southlake Woods lift station abandonment, water
improvements in Lakewood Ridge Addition and Indian Creek Estates, drainage
improvements at the intersection of Lonesome Dove Avenue and Dove Road, and pump
relocation from Pump Station #2 to Pump Station #1 in the amount of $1,890,594.10.
Director of Public Works Pedram Farahnak made a presentation to Council during the
work session. City Council approved these sanitary sewer and water projects as part of
previous CIP budgets (FY1999 -00 through FY2002 -03) CIP. The projects include
providing sanitary sewer service to residents of Garden Addition, Cedar Oaks Estates and
Hillside Estates. This project will eliminate the Southlake Woods lift station and Fox
Hollow lift station and provide water and fire protection to residents in Lakewood Ridge
Addition and Indian Creek Addition. The project also includes construction of a reinforced
concrete box culvert across Lonesome Dove Avenue at the intersection with Dove Road to
provide drainage improvements and the relocation of a 400 horsepower pump from Pump
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, MARCH 4, 2003, PAGE 4 OF 14
Station No. 2 to Pump Station No. 1. The relocation will provide increased pumping
capacity at Pump Station No. 1 at FM 1709 and Pearson Lane. The contract time for
completion of the work is 270 calendar days. The project contractor has agreed to delete
extension of water lines into the Lakewood Ridge and the Indian Creek Estates
subdivisions should the City determine its lack of feasibility based on the outcome of a
current hearing before the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Funds
for the sanitary sewer and water line improvements are available from FY 1999 -00 and FY
2000 -01 CIP. Funds are available for the drainage improvements from FY 2002 -03 CIP
and funds for the pump relocation are available from FY2000 -01 CIP. Recommended
funding for this project is $1,985,123.10 which includes a 5% construction contingency.

District. Planning Director Bruce Payne presented this item to the Council. Southlake Town
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, MARCH 4, 2003, PAGE 7 OF 14
Square has become recognized as a unique development due to its qualities as a true small town
downtown. At the time of its inception, the City's Non - Residential Planned Unit Development
standards (NR -PUD) were used as a base to tailor regulations to create this mixed -use
development. Of late, valid concerns have been raised about the applicability of blanket NR-
PUD regulations to Town Square. In particular, questions about the appropriateness of the Town
Square land use mix elsewhere in the city are being raised. In addressing the above concerns and
in recognizing the unique nature of Town Square, the Planning Department, under Council
direction, is proposing the creation of a Downtown Zoning District. The City Council approved
first reading on December 17, 2002. Changes from the last work session held on February 20,
2003, and discussions with the property owners have been incorporated into this plan.
No one spoke during the public hearing.

Agenda Item No. 7E. Resolution No. 03 -011, Approving Downtown District Design
Guidelines as it pertains to development in the Downtown Zoning District. Planning Director
Bruce Payne presented this item to the Council. At the first reading of Ordinance 480 -SS at
City Council on December 17, 2002, several concerns were raised about the elimination of the
applicability of the Overlay District standards on all development in the Downtown District.
The concerns stemmed from the lack of any specific design standards that reflected the
character of existing development. In order to address the above concerns, staff is proposing a
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, MARCH 4, 2003, PAGE 8 OF 14
set of Downtown District Design Guidelines based on the existing patterns of development.
The guidelines are not intended to be regulatory but are intended to assist the decision making
authorities in determining the extent to which proposed development meets the goals of the
Downtown District. The proposed guidelines are not intended to be static, but will likely
evolve to better address future development and market trends. The guidelines shall be adopted
by City Council in conjunction with the Downtown Zoning District. The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended approval on January 9, 2003.

Brian Stebbins of Cooper & Stebbins said he agrees with the district design guidelines.

Agenda Item No. 7J. Ordinance No. 841, 2 Reading, Approval of Wholesale System Access
Fees required by the contract for water service between the City of Southlake and the City of
Fort Worth dated September 4, 2002. Public Works Director Pedram Farahnak presented this
item to the Council. On August 6, 2002, the Southlake City Council authorized the Mayor to
execute a contract for water service between the City of Fort Worth and the City of Southlake for
wholesale purchase of water. Subsequently, the Fort Worth City Council authorized and
executed the contract on September 4, 2002. Entering into this standard contract has put us in the
position of having to pass along Fort Worth's system access fee to customers tying into the
system. In accordance with section 16.1, "System Access Fees," Southlake agrees to pay Fort
Worth a wholesale system access fee for each new or enlarged connection for water service
made in Southlake's service area served by the general benefit facilities of the Fort Worth Water
System. The wholesale system access fee to Southlake for each such connection shall be based
upon the size of the water meter. Council approved Ordinance No. 841 on first reading on
February 18, 2003.

Agenda Item No. 8A. Ordinance No. 480 -330a, 1 Reading (ZA03 -005), Rezoning and Site Plan
for Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 1, Block 2, Carroll I.S.D. No. 6 Addition. Senior Planner Dennis
Killough presented this item to the Council. This property is located at the intersection of South
Kimball and Silicon Drive. The purpose of this request is to add 2,020 additional seats, revise the
parking regulations, allocate areas for portable toilets and change previously approved hours of
operation. The review of this application is limited to those areas of change only. These changes
are driven by the school district's contract with the Dallas Burn professional soccer team for use
of Dragon Stadium. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial on February 20,
2003, for the following reasons: 1) parking shortage; 2) status of negotiation with adjacent
property owners on parking, bus relocation and extra hour of operation; 3) lack of work with
Department of Public Safety; 4) lack of light shielding; and, 5) lack of SPIN meeting. A super -
majority vote in the affirmative by the City Council (at least 3 /4 of all members) is required to
over -rule the P &Z's recommendation for denial of this request. A SPIN meeting was held on
Monday, March 3, 2003. Dr. Gary Mathews, CISD School Superintendent, made a presentation
to the Council and introduced CISD Board of Trustees President Robin Snyder and John Wagner
of Hunt Sports Group.
Mayor Stacy explained that Council cannot take action on this item tonight due to the fact that
only five Councilmembers are present, and it requires a super- majority vote. Council has decided
to continue this item to Friday, March 7, and hold a special meeting for its consideration.
Ms. Snyder apologized to Council for not including the city in this process earlier. They were
trying to be discrete in negotiating this contract and made an error in not bringing it to the city
earlier. She thanked the Council for their willingness to meet on Friday night.
Dr. Mathews expressed his willingness to work with the city on all future endeavors.
John Wagner of Hunt Sports Group made a presentation to Council and answered Council's
questions. He said Dallas Burn games will be on Saturdays during the summer with the
exception of two Wednesday night games.
David Taylor, Vice President of Operations for Dallas Burn, introduced himself to Council and
said he is in charge of the overall fan experience of the Dallas Burn.
Jack Skelton, Ace Parking, said they are the 4 largest parking company in the United States.
They have worked with the Dallas Burn at Fair Park for five years. He made a presentation of
their traffic plan.
Mr. Taylor addressed Council's questions regarding vehicle routes. Letters will be sent out to the
season ticket holders instructing them where to park and how to get there. He reviewed the
routing of vehicles entering and exiting the stadium and said they will try to divide vehicles
between FM 1709 and SH 26.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, MARCH 4, 2003, PAGE 11 OF 14
John Dorety addressed the Mayor's questions regarding parking on the Fickes /Dorety property.
They think they will have parking on their property no matter what they do, and they are simply
trying to control it.
Mr. Skelton discussed traffic flow leaving the stadium.
Mr. Wagner said he has met with Southlake DPS and will continue to refine the plan as needed.
He is hoping to work on getting some closer parking spaces. He stressed the fact that they have a
professional parking company working for them who has worked with them for years. He said
they are charging $10 for parking.
Mayor Stacy said the local resident who feels like they own this stadium will not be happy about
having to pay $10 for parking.
Dr. Mathews said their CFO is estimating the school system will gain between $200,000 —
$500,000 per year from this contract. This money would provide for educational needs such as
providing a rather significant reading initiative for students.
Ms. Snyder said the revenue amount quoted is contingent upon the school district getting
concessions, and that issue is still being negotiated.
Mayor Stacy questioned why some of the money would not be used to pave the parking lot. Ms.
Snyder indicated they do not have the money to pay for a parking lot right now.
Councilmember Potter encouraged them to fix the parking problem down there for the long term.
They need a solution that will eliminate people from having to go through the neighborhoods.
Darrell Faglie, 505 South Kimball, Southlake, Texas. His property and his neighbors' properties
are not in the Carroll school district so that is why the Board elected to take their neighborhood
and destroy it. They have put two schools across the street from residences which required their
street to be widened from two lanes to four lanes. Now the school district is going to use it for a
commercial parking lot. He is opposed to this request and is opposed to anything additional at
the stadium because the school district has not met their original requirements. He asked each of
the Councilmembers to attend a Burn game before voting on this item.
Ralph Williams, 1177 Adams Lane, Southlake, Texas. Said this is in improper use of our
stadium based on the verbal assurances and representations made by the prior school board in
getting the local property owners to support the stadium. None of them have contemplated
having a professional sports team play in their backyard and having to deal with the
accompanying issues. The existing parking provided by CISD is totally inadequate and
insufficient to meet the requirements of soccer crowds exceeding 7,000 people. CISD is
unwilling to make a financial commitment to develop additional parking for Dragon stadium.
There will be off premise consumption of alcohol at these events, and trash will be an issue. The
Carroll school board negotiated a bad deal, but that does not mean the city has to support it. He
asked Council to turn down this request.
Steve Lakin, 400 Donley Court, Southlake, Texas. Said he is speaking as a citizen and not as a
school board member. They are trying to mitigate the parking and traffic and security issues. He
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, MARCH 4, 2003, PAGE 12 OF 14
asked everyone to talk objectively about the benefits to the school district, the children, and the
soccer fans. He said to not bring old issues or emotions into the discussion and stay objective. He
said their number one objective is to educate the kids. He cannot change the fact that Dragon
Stadium was built where it was built or how much the mortgage is on it. Taxpayers will receive
the equivalent of a two cent tax reduction by having the Dallas Burn here. Council needs to
remember it was not the current Board or the current Council who approved the 5:1 parking
ratio, but they are trying to help fix it. They are trying to keep parking in this local area because
they feel it is best for the community and for the fans to keep the parking close.
Mr. Wagner said if the benchmark is to have the school district put in 375 paved parking spaces,
then he cannot in good conscience continue this request. He is not asking the school district to
mortgage something that they were not intending on doing to make this deal work; he understood
that they had to meet the 5:1 parking ratio.
Darla Reed, CISD Board of Trustees member, said there is a benefit to the community. With this
additional revenue, they can hire one to three reading teachers that can help children who cannot
read.
Councilmember Potter said he is not asking them to put pavement on the ground today, but he is
asking them to put pavement down in the next few years. He said John Wagner has the ability to
help the school district with this parking lot right now.
Mayor Stacy said it seems to him that if the school district is interested in looking at the stadium
as a revenue source, they would more interested in spending the additional dollars to get
permanent seating and more parking, then they could have more events like this.
Councilmember Shankland said the exposure to Southlake is immeasurable, and he hopes the
parking issue can be worked out. He said the publicity alone will be tremendous.
Darrell Faglie said he does not want offsite parking across from residential where they have to
run a shuttle back and forth; that would be very disturbing. He asked for the school district to
address the lighting. He said a school board member said as the last SPIN meeting that
sometimes a few have to suffer for the good of many, and he is tired of suffering.
Ralph Williams suggested they go to Trammell Crow who has 25 acres across the street and
work with them on parking.
Lou Caposta, 2311 Crooked Lane, Southlake, Texas. Said they need to cut out the football
program altogether, and they would save a lot of money.
Jerry Marin, 200 Ginger Court, Southlake, Texas. Said he is ashamed of what he has experienced
here tonight, especially from the Mayor. What he saw here tonight is petty, small town politics.
Jeff Wang, 595 South Kimball Avenue, Southlake, Texas. He asked Council to review the
minutes from the February 3, 2000, P &Z meeting and the February 15 and March 7, 2000,
Council meetings regarding this stadium issue.
Mayor Pro Tem Evans said they need more parking, and they need to nail down exactly where
the people will park. He would like to see a long -range plan for permanent parking.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, MARCH 4, 2003, PAGE 13 OF 14
Lowell Morrison said Dr. Gillum promised Mr. Caposta that they would pay for fencing around
his property and asked the district to pay for that now.
Councilmember Morris said she wants to work with the district. She thinks the Burn will be good
Southlake residents, but she would like to see the parking ratio down where it needs to be. She is
willing to look at some short term, off -site parking and a 4:1 ratio in order to give the school
district this much needed revenue.
Mr. Wagner and the school district agreed to work on the issues before they return at the next
meeting.

February 7, 2003
Mr. Rick Stacy and Southlake City Council:
As property owners in the City of Southlake, we feel that we are under represented and feel we need equal
representation. We feel we are due a review at the next 2025 Steering Committee Meeting.
We have recently been informed that our property was rezoned to low density and was changed to this the
last time the PLZ made changes in 1997. We were not informed of the change in writing to our knowledge.
There may have been some communication that we failed to see.
Reasons why we believe our property should be redefined as medium density:
1. To the north of our property there is a planned 5 -lane road (D ove Road in future) unneeded at present
time due to low traffic.
2. There is a planned municipal complex just to the northwest of our homes, about 1/3 mile.
3. There is an electrical sub station and huge electrical transmission line on the north end of our property,
which may have already lowered the value of our property.
4. The property to the south of our property about 2/5 mile is zoned commercial as well as the property just
100 yards to the east of our property. That property is under grandfather clause? If our property remains
zoned low density, then the erosion of our property value will continue. No one can afford to buy our
acreage and develop with that few homes.
5. The property is located in the middle of the L13/R13 flight zone, an additional degrading of our property.
7
6. The city sewer line is within 2/5 mile from the corner of our property running down North Carroll Ave,
yet we do not have access to city sewer services. The cost to the city may easily be recouped by
development on this property.
7. There appears to be two medium density additions located to the north of Hwy 114. Kirkwood Hollow
and Lonesome Dove Estates. Also, as near as I can tell by looking at additional additions in Southlake,
there are some 15+ additions south of Hwy 114 where the homes are on less than one -acre lots.
Those include:
Meyers Meadow Versailles
Southridge Lakes Oak Tree Estates
The addition just east of the High School Fox Borough
Stone Lake Dominion
Timber Lake Monticello
Timarron Wilmington
Lake Crest Princeton Park
8. These additions are the most beautiful ones in Southlake with well kept yards, sewer, storm drains,
sidewalks, curbing and appealing in appearance.
9. Take a look at other areas that are one acre. For example, Emerald Estates, Cross Timber Hills, Quail
Run, Quail Hollow, the Pulte Addition on Carroll Avenue, and others. The roads are of poor quality, the .
lots are not well manicured and unsightly- -not the homes, but the general appearance and upkeep of the
larger lot sizes. Highland Park in Dallas is usually considered a very exclusive area and the houses are
certainly NOT on one -acre lots. Many are probably not more than one -third acre.
10. Smaller lot sizes would also bring more revenue to the city, which we seem to so desperately need.
11. Are property owners north of Hwy 114 of lesser value to the city than those who own property in the
south of the city? We seem to pay the same exorbitant taxes!
12. It is increasingly apparent that the change from medium density has further eroded our land value by as
much as $10,000 per acre.
Please consider the above premises, do what is right, just and fair, and change our properties back to
medium density as it was prior to 1997 change.
Sincerely,
Ron and Lou Cullum Rhonda Cullum Walter and Christine Estes
